How can I get more FPS and no crashes- 1080

[asperi]

So here is my rack rig:
4 RU rack case
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 F10
i7 2600k 3.4
16 gig ram
2x Ocz Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120 120GB SATA SSD Drives- One for windows, one for osx
2x 1tb Barracuda 7200rpm Sata storage drives, one NTFS for windows, the other Formated mac extended.
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Superclocked 2048MB GDDR5 PCIe
Antec High Current Gamer Series 750W
3x Black Magic Intensity Pro Capture Cards
Ton of fans and a Ti FW card.



Ran all of the above on osx 10.73. Seemed solid, and it was but was getting random crashes, usually when going between decks.
My comps- 1920x1080- Around 14 decks, all with about 48 clips over 3 layers (16 clips a layer), all clips are Quicktime h.264 1920x1080 8.8mbps bit rate. Works fine for a while.. Then R4.01 crashes, Osx keeps going. Thought it was the HDD/ or computer but was able to get the same crash on my Macbook Pro.

I dont really think its R4s fault, I think it is the HD 1080 being too much to handle. Maybe the h.264 taxing the cpu. Edited the comp down to just 2 layers and the MBP now does not crash.

Got Home booted into the Windows7 drive in the rack, tried the 3 layer comps with all the decks and clips, seems to be ok.

So seems that you really need to watch your layers and FPS.. How can I get better FPS?

I know you recommend DXV but I cant get smooth playback with that and would take up 6-8tb for my clips so DXV is not an option for me...

Hello Asperi, may be is better to send the crash log file to Resolume team with the feedback tool... Most of us are not coders...

It will be good to know what happens when you'll tried with Windows. I'm thinking on build a hackintosh too, but I began to hear about inestability of the system and I'm not so sure to do it at the moment...

IMO DXV must be your choice, if you don't have enough space in your disks, may be you Can do a selection for every gig...

[asperi]

Doing a fresh OS on an Intel SSD as i type. Hope its solid

We cannot provide support for Hackintosh models, but if you can recreate this on your MBP, we'd love to see the logs for that (mail@resolume.com).

[asperi]

Yeah back to windows7.. Sent log from the MBP crash, will try to recreate with photo jpg renders. Guessing its crashing due to processing the h.264 on the cpu.. Will let you know when renders and test are done. Nature of the beast sort of.

just wanted to say that R4 is still super awesome :]
